Prospero Teaching
The Opportunity
Prospero Teaching work in partnership with Local Authorities, SEND teams, and schools across the UK to provide bespoke educational support to children and young people who are currently out of education, disengaged from learning, or require additional support due to Special Educational Needs.
We are currently seeking a dedicated SEN Tutor to support learners with a range of needs, including SEND, SEMH, ASD, and learning difficulties.

Tutors will be required to plan and deliver personalised sessions, adapting teaching approaches to suit each learner's individual needs, abilities, and learning style. The role requires patience, flexibility, and a nurturing approach, with a strong focus on building confidence, engagement, and positive relationships.
Support will take place during the school day and will be offered for approximately 10 hours per week. Tutors will also be expected to complete baseline assessments and provide regular progress feedback.
